The skin has numerous functions in keeping a body regulated and safe, including covering and protecting other organs, serving as a barrier from germs and bacteria, preventing the loss of water and other fluids, helping to control body temperature and making vitamin D.

my favorites are Cerave, Eucerin and Cetaphil creams as well as Aquaphor and good old Vaseline. The best time to apply your moisturizer is right after your bath or shower when your skin is still slightly damp.
